An expressive super-elliptical serif and sans serif typeface family for headline and text use.


An eminent German typographer Indra Kupferschmid once described Velo type as " ... contemporary retro type family, that avoids becoming too gimmicky 1970s" [1]. Velo Serif and Velo Sans are instantly recognisable by a very large x-height and the wide expressive super-elliptic forms in uppercase and lowercase.

Each part of the superfamily includes sixteen fonts: twelve display styles, ranging from thin to black with complementary italics, and four text styles created for longer settings. The typeface also includes a complete small cap alphabet in text sizes, numerous lowercase and figures alternatives and many other advanced typographic features. You can buy Velo at House Industries.
